AGB Search Recruits SVP of University Operations for Fairleigh Dickinson University
May 7, 2021 – As the pandemic begins to subside in the U.S. and organizations collectively begin to get back on their feet, colleges and universities across the country are opening searches that, if all goes to plan, will allow high-profile leaders to take them into a new era of fundraising, digitalization, sports and, increasingly the case, globalization – not to mention a pandemic and post-pandemic era. One national recruiting outfit, AGB Search, has become a magnet for such assignments. Most recently, the Washington, D.C.-based recruiter placed Robert Pignatello as the first senior vice president for university operations at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ. (FDU). Consultant Robert Holyer led the assignment. Dr. Pignatello will begin at FDU on June 1.
